Awesome Blu-ray player

I bought this Blu-ray player to replace a 7 year old Samsung Blu-ray player that was one of the earliest generation players. I also wanted a WiFi connection instead of the wired Ethernet on my old box. One of my chief complaints about the old box was that it was very slow to react to control panel or remote button pushes. I could tap the "drawer open" button and then wait almost a minute before it decided to open the drawer. Then when I closed the drawer, it took up to a few minutes to explore and then play the Blu-ray disc. This new BD-J6300 performs those same operations immediately. Touch the open button and the drawer opens right then. Insert a disc and it plays within seconds. That alone was worth the money for the new unit. I don't have a 4K TV so I was not concerned about the 4K up-scaling versus actually playing 4K discs (this unit does not play 4K discs), but the same circuitry that allows it to upscale Blu-ray HD to 4K resolution also does a great job of up-scaling DVD standard definition to HD quality. That allowed me to replace both my older Blu-ray and a dedicated DVD player with one new unit. The older Blu-rays do not have a vested interest in making DVD's look good and the old Samsung simply ported standard def signaling to an HDMI cable. So I always maintained an up-scaling DVD player for my DVD collection. Fewer boxes to do the same job is a good thing.
It should also be noted that this is one of the last Blu-ray players that still has controls on the box and a front display that shows a play counter. Being fairly old school myself, I like displays. Other models have no controls and no lights at all making it somewhat of a guessing game on what the box is doing.
My only minor complaint is that the Hulu app built-in to the unit does not use the entire TV screen for some odd reason and it leaves a one inch black margin around the picture. That's not even a valid video resolution and must be something like 990p instead of 1080p. I can't imagine what possessed Hulu to do that. But I use a Roku box for streaming so no biggie.
All in all I love this player and consider it one of the best investments I've made in a long time. If I could justify buying one for every room with a TV I would, but new equipment generates still working hand-me-downs, so less used TV locations get the hand-me-downs.
I highly recommend the BD-J6300 player.

Terribly disapointed

We purchased this device because our old Sony had finally stopped working, we use it constantly and when it simply couldn't read discs any longer we went to purchase the latest Sony device. The store did not have any of the new Sonys that could communicate over 5Mhz wifi. So we bought this one, it is constantly shutting down erratically, when watching movies stored on our network, when it can no longer keep a connection (other devices are not losing the same connection), the movie continues to play, but a message pops up to check the connection; click OK and your movie stops, if you leave it alone, sometimes the movie will continue and the message goes away, but other times it will stop, you can immediately start from the beginning, indicating that you are still connected to the network, but you cannot go back to where you were in the movie without having to start at the beginning and use their 1x 2x 3x fast forward, which you get to by the navigation buttons on the remote, pressing down to bring up the play-pause-stop-ff-fb controls, and then you can navigate to the fast forward, pause, play, etc button, then press the center button to activate the button, to play again, you have to navigate to the play button and then press it. Why they did not use the built in controls for the DVD player for these controls is beyond me. Further the unit actually turns itself off and back on, no warnings, just shuts off. I have figured out that this is most likely a memory issue. the software is tying up device memory, and when the memory is being reported as full, the device resets. Instead of having their programmers clean up the memory, they reset the unit. The longer the unit is on, the more memory is tied up, and not released through what is known as garbage collecting. Many modern programmers are not being taught that just because Windows has a great garbage collection process that is generally invisible to programmers and users alike, other systems like Linux and the free versions provided to manufacturers like this, do not clean up memory on their own, the software writers have to release memory used by variables in their programs. Classes cause the creation of unique items, old programming methods would use a variable, say myMovie to store a movie, putting another movie in that variable would simply re-use the same memory, adjusting the length depending on the movie stored. But with classes, each Class item myMovie, starts using memory at a brand new location. So, you watch movie one, two and three using variable style programming and the loss of memory is only that which was used by the largest of the three movies, but using the Class-Object method, now the memory for all three movies is used up and, you want to watch movie number four, you get half way through, and boom, the device is turning itself off, because it has run out of memory. If the programmer had told the system that the memory from movies 1,2 and 3 was now free for using, there would be no problem, and If we turn the device off once a day,(which resets the amount of memory used to 0) it does not shut down, but if it is on and used, for a long time, especially downloading movies, then it will simply restart when memory is used up. Also, using it to navigate our own digital library of movies is cumbersome, first I have to select Digital Media, then the device that stores our videos, then for some reason I have to select Videos, Videos, then Videos by location, then I can view my movies, There is no clear reason that the first time I select Video leads to the options to select Photos, Audio, Video again, and I have tested this, if you select Audio, then Video, then it tells you there are no Audio files available to play, or if you select Video, then Audio, and navigate to music, it reports there are no Video files to play, so why are there two sets of selecting Photo, Audio, Video? Samsung used to be a reputable company, but lately I have been experiencing bad luck with their newest products.

Wrong connector, questionable dual 5Ghz, Upscale

Posted 1 year ago

CLTGreg

I bought this to exchange my circa 2013 Samsung BD-F5900/za which began rebooting itself while watching streaming. The reason I liked that model and this one is the elapsed time display which is rare nowadays even among Samsung. This works with discs and Netflix but not Amazon. No big deal. You get what you can get. Basically this player is the same format as the older. Everything dimension wise is the same. Also to know is that the most blasted thing I've complained about is the buttons are up on top of the player and do not have a good feel until you get used to them. I have the player in a tower which means it has to be the top component.
The next thing to be aware of is that the digital sound port IS NOT COAX though that is what is seen in the photos here. Most of us will be using HDMI so no big deal. The real connector is S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) aka TOSLINK. I think the only ones that need to worry about this are those that are buying Magnolia level stuff and have run out of space. This type of person is more likely to be wanting to use this or the coax plug to hook in some real old gear like a laserdisc. So no big deal but kind of sloppy that the pic is wrong.
Concerns:
I'm getting sound dropouts for streaming services. Using a Magnolia level receiver I can see indicators as well as have the sound drop out. This is like a split second but I can tell.
Related to the above is the claim of "Built-in Dual Band WiFi". I'm not saying it isn't there but I'm only seeing one IP address and I'd expect less sound drops. This is on a 100Mbs Spectrum link that I am speed testing during a movie to see if the problem is global. Also, I know the wireless speed is faster but I'd still think wired would be more stable but it isn't. The results I see are worse on wired. 5Ghz might look great on paper but the internet connection is a FRACTION of that so I'm not sure where the bandwidth is going. I actually have better network with a wireless Roku Express which only operates at 2.4. So all things considered I'm not reaching my goal of getting rid of streaming problems though there are no reboots.
Finally I can't discern the claimed upscaling. I was able to hook both players up each playing a sync copy of Ender's Game for my first test. The players respond to the same remote. When Ender is sent hope you can see rain in the street and on the window when Peter is going to wrestle Ender. Later before the final battle you can freeze the screen to see the actor who play's Ender's face which has some birth marks. And finally the battle itself. I can't tell the difference quality wise. Next I went with Roger Water's The Wall which is spectacular in scene changes. I looked at his bag at the cemetery and the snow as he drives through France. Looks the same to me.
I don't think a lot of this matters if you are buying new for the first time or if you can get a good price and return it if you have the same problems as me. There could be some anomaly that affects my network with the sound but only with this player.
But I tried the upscale with a 60" TV with live results. Maybe it's me but I wish I would gone with a different brand.

Great blu ray player, can be glitchy...

Posted 1 year ago

Overall...
Now that blu ray players have come down significantly in price, most of the higher end "blu ray" (not 4K) players, are great compared to ones that first came out when the technology did, or even ones from just 5yrs ago. This one is no exception. Load up times for blu rays are as fast as DVDs used to be on the first players that came out. This one is loaded with tons available apps for a quick download besides what already comes preloaded, and the player comes with plenty of storage space. Apps all load very quickly and movie ones like Netflix start up titles thusly and there is zero lag to full HD quality. This is esp. surprising for me since I couldn't have the BD-J6300 further from the home's router and I'm streaming everything wirelessly. Also, I def do not have what would be considered anything near a top tier streaming speed.
Once you have your mobile device paired with it and if you already have the same app open on the BD-J6300 (i.e.: YouTube), playing videos on the flatscreen is one touch on your phone (iPhone in my case) and comes up almost instantaneously. It takes maybe 5 seconds if you don't already have the app open on the BD-J6300.
I don't know how the screen mirroring works when paired with a Samsung phone, but I haven't been able to get it to work even after downloading the app for it onto my iPhone.
Player worked flawlessly for the first couple weeks, but has occasionally become glitchy now that it's broken in. This so far only happens if the device has been on for a very long time. A simple shut off and on seems to clear this up.
Cannot speak for 3D quality or the 4K upscaling as my tv is neither 3D nor 4K.
For those hooking this up to a Samsung TV as I am, I personally don't like the BD Wise function as I prefer my personal calibration to this function which calibrates the 2 together "for the best possible picture". I am def not saying it's a bad function, and if you want a nice picture and your not adept to calibrating yourself, it's def a good starting off point for people who have just purchased this with a new Samsung TV. I'm very happy with the BD-J6300 and will use this till it's time for a 4K tv, and thusly a 4K blu ray player.

Good buy

Posted 1 year ago

NewYorker1

Purchased as a gift. The sale price was irresistable - appx. $100 for an upscaling BR/dvd player. I agree that the picture quality and sound are great. However I also agree that the instructions for using it were a little inadequate. It would be more user friendly to include a Quick Set-up guide. We have a Samsung tv but as one buyer mentioned, it didn't simplify the operation.
One glitch occured at point of sale. I asked the salesperson if everything I needed was in the box. The box did not say what's included. The salesperson said everything was included. It was not - no HDMI cable!! That meant missing a full day of using the device until we could get a cable. An unusual oversight since most salespeople are happy to add another purchase to the original. Oddly the instruction book never listed what was in the box; it only described the remote and operation buttons. Please work on this.
After getting it all set up, the onscreen set up menu was baffling, and took a while to sort out was was necessary and what was optional. Finally we just pressed play. The buttons on the remote are oddly placed, too; we kept pressing the Home button instead of what is vaguely described as the Enter/OK button. A few times bouncing back to the menu screen got us out of that mistake.
Otherwise this is a great machine. It would be a cool gift for a college bound student.

Pretty decent player

I was looking for a Blu Ray player that still had a display on the front. Good luck finding that in a new player, this was about the only one I could find that was reasonably priced. The controls are on top of the player and a bit difficult to see under low light, but at least they are there and you don't have to rely upon the remote.
The Samsung "Smart" app is pretty good. It's a bit clunky to navigate, but any interface that relies upon input from a remote control (rather than a keyboard) is going to be that way. It's my understanding that you can connect a keyboard/mouse to this machine, so that's a bonus.
I was able to hook up my hard drive to the player as well. Seems to have no problem playing stored music, looking at pictures etc. The only thing is that I may have removed the hard drive before it was done reading and it corrupted the settings on the drive. I was able to reset the hard drive and access my files after some internet searching. I'm hoping this doesn't happen next time I connect an external hard drive.
The video player itself is good, I haven't used the "upscaling" function as I'm still utilizing my old Panasonic Plasma from 2010. Just keep in mind the only output you have is HDMI and Toslink. No component/composite or coaxial digital outputs.

Wireless concerns

Wireless connection issues. Because I stay busy, and every room in my house has a BD player, I wasn't in a rush so I didn't open/connect the J6300 until 40 days after purchase. Day 1) it connected without an issue, checked for all updates, applied my customized settings, and using a DVD the picture quality was good. Day 2) I wanted to see the difference using streaming and I had no wireless connection. It kept trying for a Wired connection, and couldn't locate ANY wireless signal (despite having multiple range extenders in the house, and reseting my router though my phone and laptop had a connection), not even any surrounding signals - just an empty search listig. Went to Best Buy and they said I was outside the exchange by 5 days or so, so I was referred to Samsung. I got home and reconnected the box, and it now worked. I called Samsung and explained the situation, and found another review that the user had to reset the wireless daily, and their response was since it is now working call if I have any future problems...SMH

Poor interface

Posted 1 year ago

I bought this on sale before Christmas because it seemed to be an upgrade from my current Sony BD player by having dual-band WiFi and 4K upscaling. But after using it for several weeks the only benefit I found was that it booted up more quickly. The picture was good but not noticeably better than my non upscaling player on my 4K TV.
However there are 3 very important areas where this Samsung was worse. First is the physical controls. I find it ridiculous that they are all on the top of the unit, labelled black on black so that you need bright direct light to see which does what. It might help if there was some tactile difference so that you could feel the difference between eject, play, stop, etc. But instead it is a smooth touch-sensitive actuation. If you have your player on a high or narrow shelf ... good luck. All controls should be on the front face of the unit.
Second, the on-screen user interface is cumbersome, non-intuitive and just plain ugly. It is very difficult to navigate to the features you want. Sony's is the best in the business.
Third, I found that on several discs I played the sound was slightly out of sync with the picture. Very annoying when a person's voice does not match up to what their lips are doing.

Was great, until it wasn't

Posted 4 months ago

shaneRN

This was a replacement to a cheaper Samsung. It was great until about 6 months ago when audio started "jerking" periodically while streaming Netflix--the picture was fine, though. Then, during Amazon Prime video. Then during Hulu tv shows (with ads... it doesn't jerk on Hulu movies without ads). Streaming those platforms on this Toshiba laptop or Samsung S7's has no issues, so it's not the 100mb internet or router. The most recent development (this week) is that the picture also jerks slightly with the audio jerking.
I must say that playing BluRay discs has no issue and works fine everytime. Except for when it spontaneously restarts for no reason, which has happened about 3 times during discs, but about 10 while streaming. Once it even did it on the home screen.
Anyway, it's going back via the extended warranty that I purchased (I told the BestBuy worker helping me that I was worried about the warranty and he said that if I bought this warranty and had any issues at all I could just turn it in for a new one). It's being traded in for a Sony or LG.

Simple and easy initial set-up. 3D is available if I wanted to use that feature. Up-scaling to "near - UHD" of none HD videos like regular DVDs work but of course ONLY up to the maximum resolution of your TV or projector. Never the less, any picture are displayed beautifully.
I also tested to connect a wireless keyboard with touch pad like Logitech K400 and it works - so using the Samsung's web browser feature was nice.
For me, the best feature to mention is the HDMI - CEC connection. When connected to a TV with HDMI-CEC connection like Sharp 4K, the remote control pairs very well, so using only one remote instead of 2 is very convenient. See my other review if you are interested in a 4K TV - Sharp LC-65N7000U. Logitech K400 wireless keyboard w/ touch pad is only $20.

Grea Pic quality but many annoying software issues

Posted 10 months ago

Solarenergynow

I've had this for a year but have used it for the last 2-3 months.
First thing the instructions are useless and it is not straightforward to find solutions or a useful troubleshooting summary.
After reading reviews, I did not even bother with live Samsung tech support..
First thing, make sure you update your software and do a Hard reset.
I have had this player go blank in the middle of a movie several times and change the screen resolution as well. Always the solution is to turn off/on but most likely do a soft reset through the menu with "Settings ..", which is very annoying especially when watching a movie with a bunch of kids ...
I also own a Samsung soundbar which has been a delight to use but this player I cannot recommend and would have return it in a heartbeat if I was within the appropriate dates.
How hard is it to put together a complete troubleshooting guide and let customers take care of the problem as oppose to having to search in forums and try different solutions?
I cannot recommend this product.

Great Multi-Feature Blu-Ray Player

This Blu-Ray Player has it all, and the price of only $99 is fantastic! The sound and picture quality that I get on my HD non- 4K Smart TV from this streaming 4K Upscaling 3D Player is significantly improved. I really have to lower the volume on my TV when I use this, because it fills my entire 1,700 sq foot apartment with such rich, multi-dimensional, bass-booming, enhanced sound. The picture on my HDTV is already very good, but I noticed even crisper, sharper, improved imagery. I have not used the 3D movie function of this Player, but I know that my 12 yr old son will sneak it off to his bedroom and try it out before long, and I’m sure he’ll be raving about it, and I’ll never get it back! An additional bonus with buying this unit is that when I purchase a 4K UHD TV soon, I don’t have to replace my Blu-Ray Player. I highly recommend this product, for its value, quality, and adaptability.

SAMSUNG NEEDS QUALITY ASSURANCE HELP

Bought and setup this player on 11/10/2016 with no problems to replace an older Blu-Ray player for my 4K UHD TV. Watched both DVD and Blu-Ray movies after setup with no problems. Great picture for both. Liked the other options with the player. On 11/11/2016, started having problems. Blu-Rays were not recognized and DVDs started having various problems. Worked with SAMSUNG tech support to fix with no success. Did additional research and found that this is not the first time for this problem for this SAMSUNG player. Returned this unit on 11/12/2016 and replaced with the SONY BD-J6300. I believe that SAMSUNG needs to examine their Quality Assurance methods due to this problem and their other current problems. May have something in common for all.

Nearing the end of its product life cycle, the UN65KS8000FXZA is now a bargain vs. its price when it debuted about 9 months ago. Compared to its competitors from Sony and Vizio, it has a brighter, more vibrant picture with more accurate colors and great blacks.
I struggled with the decision to go with Samsung's Quantum Dot technology or OLED from LG. In the end, I felt the picture quality was about the same, and the Samsung was about half the cost due to the expensive manufacturing costs of OLED.
Pros:
* Motion is smooth, no judder
* Picture with normal HD is outstanding
* Clarity with 4k content from Amazon Prime is amazing
* The one box system is great - all your HDMI cables go into one location, which connects to the TV, eliminating a mess of wires going up to the unit
* remote is simple, easy to use and controls the cable as well
Cons:
You can find cheaper 4k TV's, even from Samsung, but this offer a lot of bang for the buck.

Excellent Device for My Uses

I purchased the Samsung - BD-J6300 - Streaming 4K Upscaling 3D Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player from Best Buy to replace an older player. The BD-J6300 is smaller, lighter, and its' Blu-ray - DVD player out-performs its predecessor, probably because of the BD-J6300's 4K upscaling. Although I do nearly all of my streaming directly to my TV via ROKU, I tried out the streaming capabilities of the BD-J6300 and found them to work as well as advertised.
One factor that you should be aware of about the BD-J6300 is that although it up scales to 4K, it will NOT play 4K DVDs. Since I already have an extensive DVD-Blu-ray disc collection, and I stream movies and other videos from Netflix and other services, I was willing to pay $100 for the BD-J6300 and save about $200 over the price of a 4K disc-playing device. With this caveat in mind, the BD-J6300 is an excellent buy.

We were replacing our 9 year old blu-ray player and purchased the Samsung for its features and the sale price. Set up was easy and the unit allowed for installation of apps. The negative issue for us is that it fails to remember the previous location. We watch a few TV series that we purchased on blu-ray and 'pause' the disc when we finish and episode with the intention of starting the next episode at another time. So, we go thru the setup--choosing English subtitles and the episode. After watching the episode we 'pause' the player and start the next episode at a later date. Our old player would start at the next episode with the subtitles intact. The new Samsung forgets all the settings and we start from scratch each episode. Samsung customer service states this is a result of using Java. Don't know, but I don't like it.

Great Blu-Ray Player

Posted 2 years ago

Had to get an upgrade to a newer player after older Samsung played out :-) This player has phenomenal sound and picture with the best 3D image I've ever seen with my Epson 1080p 5030 projector. No more red faces or poor flesh tones in 3D and like watching movies all over again with an amazing amount of detail I've never seen (or heard) before. I didn't expect this degree of sound improvement! One caveat - I almost returned this player because I could not initially get it to play discs with my 1080p system and you MUST menu over and turn the Ultra HD feature OFF which is set ON by default if you don't have a 4K TV. It's not particularly intuitive but once I figured it out - WOW. The results were worth the miscue! Best picture and sound I've ever seen with my setup. I'd have dumped my older Blu-Ray player much sooner if I'd have known the improvements would be this great!

Pros: quality Blu-ray player, 4k upscaling works well with my 4k TV, reasonable price.
Cons: not specific to just this player, but all the new Blu-ray players in general. I replaced an older no frills Blu-ray player that finally got old and stopped reading discs all together. I returned a Sony model and got this instead (which is atypical because I am a fan of Sony products). All these newer players are overly complex with too many menus and trying to be too smart. I just want a simple player, but almost impossible to find nowadays. I'm sure the digital streaming market isn't really motivating the manufacturers to make a wide range of Blu-ray players. Seems like all the new players have issues with the "smart" TV and the "smart" Blu-ray player fighting to change the menu resolution, giving the "no signal" problem.

Bought a brand new one of these yesterday, got it home & set up.... but it wouldn't play any of my blu-ray discs (which are the right region code for the player). After 2 calls to Samsung taking several hours of them giving me the song & dance that I'm trying to play discs that are the wrong region code, and having to try all these updates, resets, firmware updates it still won't play a blu-ray. So they tell me the blu-ray laser is defective and that I should return it for exchange if possible. So exchanged for another brand new player today... SAME PROBLEM! Won't play blu-rays, Samsung couldn't figure it out either after another hour on the phone with them. They recommended returning it for a different Samsung model-- no way. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
Bought a Sony BDP-S6500 & love it! Worked right away!

Perfect for what I wanted, Amazon Video

Posted 1 year ago

I managed to buy a Samsung Smart TV that could not get Amazon video. The model the year before had a cludge to get it. The models the years after get the app with no problem. Mine won't get it at all. After paying for Prime for a year with no way to get video, I picked this player up, mainly for that, although also to up grade my old DVD player.
Works like a charm! Clicked on the app, put in my ID and password, and Bingo! Amazon video. It seems to work faster and with less issues than Netflix through the app on the TV. It includes a web browser as well.
Set up could not be easier. Plug it in, run an HDMI cable to the TV, run a quick setup, and you are done. An interesting thing to me, is that the TV recognizes the DVD player and which HDMI input to switch to. Need to switch it back for the cable.
Now back to binge watching Bosch on Amazon!
